Old Mahachai

I've visited the fish market area in Mahachai, Samut Sakhon province on a regular basis since 2016. It's an appealing location for taking pictures, as the colours and activity overflow as much as the daily fish catch that arrives in the market before dawn.

Mahachai originated as a city named Sakhon Buri in 1548, and though much has obviously changed in nearly 500 years, it's not hard to imagine that the fish market has always been a steady and significant focal point of local life.
